The Story
The war for warp-cursed Croatoas continues. After earning the title of ‘Giant-killers’ during Operation Jotunn, Lieutenant Commander Hadeya Etsul and the crew of the Leman Russ Demolisher Steel Tread are sent straight back into the fighting.
Etsul is given command of a convoy of armoured vehicles and infantry, charged with escorting a legendary Lord Commissar through hostile territory to reinforce the struggling Ruega Front. But a new crew member threatens the carefully maintained balance inside her tank, while a deadly enemy waits unseen among the high passes.
With danger closing in from every direction, Etsul must make impossible choices and risk even the trust of her own crew to fulfill her duty.
